What Parents are Saying about The Montessori Guides
“Theresa and Bridget have truly created a beautiful tool that is grounded on the Montessori method with parenting in mind. This guide is thorough for each developmental stage, yet approachable for supporting the beginning of your Montessori journey at home in a way that feels doable for daily life as a busy parent. I love gifting this to friends who are welcoming a new baby and are interested in learning more about Montessori, and what it means to apply at home from the start.” - Blanca / @whole.child.home
“I started following Teresa and Bridget months before my little was born, I was blown away by information and abundance of activities and materials they share and the way they raise their children in the Montessori method. The First and Second year guides have been such an amazing resource in helping me pick out age appropriate materials for my little one. They not only list and recommend specific toys and activities but also explain how the materials should be presented. I found the content very straightforward and nicely organized by months, I consult it every couple of weeks as I look for the next materials and activities to prepare. The Montessori Kitchen Guide (staring at 6 months) has been a wealth of information - all the wisdom of Montessori adopted to our modern life, with specific recommendations on how to build a functional kitchen, how to involve the little ones in preparing food, eating and building their independence with practical life activities and raising respectful little eaters. I’ve really enjoyed adopting all the ideas, and have learned so much from the guides and seeing joy in the eyes of my little one has been the biggest gift I could ask for.” - Dessi P. / @dessi_art
“As first time parents new to Montessori, “The Montessori Guide” gave us confidence that we were introducing age and developmentally appropriate materials and activities to our 11-month-old daughter. They were helpful, providing recommended products, benefits, and presentation information. The guide continues to grow with our now two and a half-year-old.Our whole family also loves “The Recipe Guide.” This picture guide has shopping lists (to include her in buying the ingredients) and step by step instructions to follow while making the recipe. The detailed sections on “demonstration tips for parents” have helped us foster her independence in practical life work and confidence in the kitchen. We are so appreciative of the hard work and expertise Theresa and Bridgette have put into these guides, and we can’t wait for “The Montessori Parents Guide” next!” - Ashley M / @our.montessori.journey
“We highly recommend the Montessori Guide by Theresa and Bridget! The monthly guides we purchased during Sonny's infancy made following his interests and skill set easy. We are well into our Montessori journey and are now loving the 24 Month & Up and Recipe Guide. These are both wonderful for toddlers in a Montessori home.” - Nikki / @sonnysmontessori
“The Montessori Guide is an exceptional resource. Planning activities has never been easier. The layout of the guide is simple, organized and easy to navigate. Not to mention the printables! My toddler just loves the song baskets from the 24 month guide. Theresa and Bridget have made the Montessori approach accessible by providing straightforward and well presented activities. Honestly, I couldn’t be happier!” - Christina / @playbasedlearningnyc
“It can be overwhelming to see so many ideas online at times as a parent and feel like you aren’t doing enough. As I’ve been reflecting I just wanted to say I SO appreciated the experience of being in person with other people who are like minded and on a journey with Montessori during the Montessori Mornings. I appreciated how both of you have so much knowledge about Montessori and shared your experiences but also how you made it so inviting that you don’t need to be doing all these things at home and can truly take it step by step. I know that has had an impact on me and my girls as we have been working through the times of being at home all the time. I hope that someday post Covid times there will be Montessori Mornings again and for now just wanted to say thank you for how you have impacted my perspective with Montessori.” - Tara (part of our in-person Montessori parent-child class)
